Louis XIV is dead, and his heir is a 5-year-old child. With so many deaths occurring in the royal family, it falls to an unlikely royal nephew, Philippe, duke of Orléans, to govern France until Louis XV comes of age. Completely unlike the callous old Sun King, Philippe is a man of the people who spurned Versailles and lived as a boisterous libertine. What kind of regent will this man be? ⚜️ Visit our Wordpress for episode images, score summaries, contact details and more!

It's time to celebrate … once again!  Our wheel of the year has turned ever onward … an ongoing ancient spiral of sun and shadow, life and death, sowing and reaping. It is the sacred rhythm of the Earth herself, a great circle marked by eight spokes — eight sabbats — each one a threshold into a different current of energy and magic. These festivals help guide us witches, pagans, and nature lovers alike to honor the cycles of the seasons, to dance in step with the waxing and waning light, and to weave our lives into the great tapestry of the natural world. Litha, our Summer Solstice is the height of the sun. It is the longest day when the Sun King reigns at his zenith. Litha is a celebration of abundance, joy, and the fierce power of fire. But from this peak, the descent begins: a reminder that all things cycle. Join me for today's celebration and let's bask in the sun together!PatreonHearth & HenWitchy Work Wishes

As Louis XIV's younger brother, Philippe longs to live life on his own terms and separate himself from his famous sibling, the self-titled Sun King. But that's easier said than done when your brother sees you as a threat from the day you're born. Pair that with loving men and you've got a recipe for life being a constant uphill battle. Philippe tries everything he can to carve out his own identity – while his family does everything they can to keep him from embracing his true self.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Gianni Versace was a runway iconoclast who outfitted the likes of Madonna, Demi Moore, Prince, Sylvester Stallone, and Don Johnson. He lived like Louis XIV and counted Princess Di and Elton John among his friends. He was plagued by rumors of ties to the Calabrian mafia and a secret health diagnosis. Those rumors continued to persist long after he was gunned down by a serial killer who had been on the lam after murdering four other men in three states.

In Germany, there's been an election.And The Reichstag is on fire - with a new cohort of AfD members . Will Keiser Merz see this as his opportunity to seize total control? After all, on Saturday, the incoming Chancellor decided that Germany can quote go it alone. Whatever that means. Is the real threat to European democracy about to come from besieged Christian Democrats? Meanwhile, what exactly is Donald Trump up to? In the past few weeks, America's Sun King has sprayed the geopolitical flak a mile high. From Gaza-a-lago to dropping his piledriver on Zelensky. In four years everyone went from assuming him merely mad to assuming method in all his madness. Still, no one has yet discerned exactly what that method is. Of course, this is a PayWall edition. So if you're not feeding us coins, not only will you be left with a vague miasma of guilt, you'll also be leaving us in 15 minutes time. That means leaving without 45 minutes of primo audio in which we reveal, plain as day, the TRUTH of Trump's grand strategy. Would be a hard one to miss out on. You'd really feel kinda bummed.

Send us a textThe Battle of Nagashino is one of the most famous battles in Japanese history. It was the climax of the Sengoku Jidai, the Age of Warring States, a century-long period of civil wars and social upheaval. It represented the culmination of a revolution that had transformed Japanese warfare. And it punctures many myths of the samurai, the warrior-heroes of Japan.This episode also ends a long hiatus for Great Battles in History. For the past couple of years, I've been working on a book. Researching and writing it took up all the time I would have devoted to this podcast. With the book now done, I'm planning to return to a more regular release schedule.If you enjoy this podcast and would like to support it, please consider buying my book. It's called 1709: The Twilight of the Sun King. In 1709, France faced the coldest winter of the past five centuries, famine, financial collapse, and foreign invasion. The Twilight of the Sun King is an expertly researched, engagingly written narrative history of how France survived one of its greatest crises. It explains how Louis XIV, the aging Sun King, and his state passed their greatest test. It presents a total history of an early modern campaign, one that integrates finances, logistics, and diplomacy with military operations. It culminates with an account of Malplaquet, the largest and bloodiest battle of the eighteenth century in Europe. 1709 offers new insights on the development of the French absolute monarchy and the nature of early modern European warfare.Here's a link to my publisher, Rowman and Littlefield and a link to everyone's favourite online bookseller.You can also order it from your local bookstore. 

Sun King must battle Rex Reigns wife only to make a shocking discovery! All chapters edited together in one show. Enjoy! [Ep 559]

The opulent halls of 17th and 18th-century Versailles were not just filled with dazzlingly dressed courtiers and royal intrigue. They also positively buzzed with scientific discovery and innovation, making the French royal court a crossroads of science and power. Professor Suzannah Lipscomb visits a fascinating exhibition at London's Science Museum which peels back the gilded layers of the famous palace to reveal its lesser-known role as a hotbed of scientific thinking. Along the way, she hears about innovative and dangerous new surgeries, sees the Sun King's actual pet rhinoceros as well as the world's most famous watch, designed for Marie Antoinette.Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.

Only God Is Great #RTTBROS #nightlight Only God is Great "For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." — Romans 14:8 (KJV) In the grand halls of history, few moments are as poignant as the funeral of King Louis XIV of France. Known as "Louis the Great" or the "Sun King," Louis XIV reigned for 72 years, the longest of any monarch of a major country in European history. His reign was marked by the expansion of French influence and the establishment of a centralized state. When Louis XIV passed away in 1715, his funeral was a grand affair, befitting a king who had lived in such splendor. His body lay in a golden coffin, surrounded by the opulence that had characterized his reign. The cathedral was filled with mourners, and the atmosphere was heavy with the weight of his legacy. As the funeral service reached its climax, the Bishop of Meaux, Jean-Baptiste Massillon, stood before the congregation. In a dramatic gesture, he snuffed out the candle that had been burning beside the coffin and declared, "God alone is great." This powerful statement served as a humbling reminder that no matter how grand or influential a person may be, only God holds true greatness. The story of Louis XIV's funeral reminds us of the transient nature of earthly power and glory. Despite his immense influence and the grandeur of his reign, Louis XIV's life, like all human lives, came to an end. The bishop's declaration, "God alone is great," echoes the biblical truth that our lives are ultimately in God's hands. As we reflect on this story, let us remember that our true worth and greatness come not from our achievements or status, but from our relationship with God. Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord, and it is His greatness that we should seek to honor in our lives. May we live each day with the humility and reverence that acknowledges God's supreme greatness, trusting in His eternal power and love. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

The Enema King Once upon a time in a faraway land, there lived a very powerful king. He was quite good at being a king, and ruled for longer than any other monarch in the history of the whole world. But even a king chosen by God is still just a human being. Beset by all the troubles and mischief a human body can get up to. Yet his heart was glad because his people called him The Sun King, and not the other nickname he'd so richly earned: The Enema King.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Anne-Marie-Louise d'Orleans has been described by historians as having been one of the richest heiresses in history, as an insurgent, as unaccomplished, as an Amazon, as a writer, and as a fool.

In the late 17th century, during the glorious reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, France was at its apogee, with royal absolutism at its zenith. But, beneath the gold and glamour of Louis' reign, there lay a terrifying darkness: a prison system into which people could be disappeared without a trace. And at the very heart of this darkness there lurked an excruciating secret…a prisoner, his terrible crime unknown, moved from prison to prison, forbidden to speak, and whose face was encased at all times in a mask of steel. Who was he, if he even existed at all? An English spy? Louis' long-lost father, driven into obscurity? Or, even more threateningly, his twin brother? Join Tom and Dominic as they explore one of the greatest mysteries of all time: the Man in the Iron Mask. Following in the footsteps of Voltaire and Alexandre Dumas, they definitively solve the case and reveal, once and for all, the identity of this enigmatic figure… *The Rest Is History LIVE in 2024* Tom and Dominic are back onstage this summer, at Hampton Court Palace in London!  Buy your tickets here: therestishistory.com Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.
